Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas for the 17 Day Diet

Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas for the 17 Day Diet

A My 17DD Blog reader and fellow C1 17 Day Challenge Participant posted a really easy and delicious Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas recipe on My 17DD Blog Facebook page.

With her permission, I’m posting her version of the recipe she found online at the Getting Healthy-Staying Healthy site (note: I was unable to find the original recipe online to give credit to).

This is a perfect meal for Cycle 1 of the 17 Day Diet. For Cycle 2, use beef as an alternative protein.

Here is blog reader, Karen R.’s version along with her photo of the finished dish!

Oven Baked Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil (I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil)

2 tsp chili powder

1 1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp seasoned salt

1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)

1 medium onion, sliced

1/2 red bell pepper, cut into strips

1/2 green bell pepper, cut into strips

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken strips in a greased 13×9 baking dish.

In a small bowl combine the oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt.

Drizzle the spice mixture over the chicken and stir to coat.

Next add the tomatoes, peppers, and onions to the dish and stir to combine.

Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Yields 4 servings
